When PCI came along they decided to have the slots<->IRQ thing be static, and then it wouldn't be such a pita, cause in theory you shouldn't have to share irq's. So bios manfuctures ahd the bios hook each slots IRQ pin to an IRQ. Generally these are *hard coded* into your bios. SOmetimes, though, on *nice* boards (read: not your 99$ overclocker special) you get an option like "PCI SlotA IRQ:" with a selection of IRQ numbers. -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> <sdier at debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos at efnet "When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct?" -Larry Wall -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
